Soundcheck Review

par Chris Sharp in The Wire #244 (RU), 1 mai 2004 |872|

«… this is the kind of release that makes life worth living.»

Available in a limited edition of 500 and positively bristling with skewed refusenik attitude, this is the kind of release that makes life worth living. Whether you call it self-expression or just self-indulgent, there’s no denying the disquieting, invigorating impact of this kind of outsider art. It’s the work of Jake Hardy, who, closeted in his Saskatoon home studio, churns out rampant, anarchic, hard-panned, distorted, skittering ejectronic mayhem, cramming his compositions with the raging abandoned fragments of a million hard disc edits, and imbuing them with the kind of restless mutant life that you’d normally only encounter at the wrong end of a nuclear apocalypse. A track like the superbly named No Guns No Pride verges on the indescribable. [t’s a siurred, woozy, jangling mess, all uncoordinated strums and nervy tweaker breakbeats, which collapses into radioactive chaos before emerging like some primordial slug to crawl doggedly to its choking conclusion. And this is just one of 13 misshapen gems herein, ranging from the squirming, screaming power electronies of Toronto Riot to the beaten, luminous rainbow of 101 Cans. Fo connoisseurs of the outer limits at least, the churning, squealing, yet somehow serene Sonar Causes Whales To Kill Themselves is worth the price of entry alone.
